I think Tyrone May might be a good trade in for Hayne or Cartwright

Tyrone May looked a great fantasy player at end of last year. Looked to run the ball a lot.

I’m fairly sure he isn’t as cheap as you’d like for the risk, and I’m fairly certain his name has been or still is in the injury list.

Maybe Wallace to half, Katoa into the mix?

Zero tackle has him coming back in round 5 so maybe not next week...


Penrith Panthers
NAME REASON EXPECTED RETURN
Wayde Egan Shoulder Indefinite
Tim Browne Ruptured bowel Indefinite
Sam McKendry ACL Next Season
Tyrone Phillips Pec Round 18
Tyrone May ACL Round 5

Didn't May do his ACL very late in the season?

Dufty 81
Aitken 26
Lafai 66
Widdop 99
Hunt 65
Graham 32
Mcinnes 35

Apologies if these are the same scores.

Yeah, I noticed that... might be perfect time for a Doueihi upgrade around that time

You must have gone huge this week, what did you score and place overall?

Carty might have to go this week the fucking spud

Has had 2 tries and a try assist in the first 3 weeks, unknown whether he is in the Origin picture too this season, especially if in form.

Yeah Guerra always feels like a no go for me in fantasy, numbers on the board fair enough.. but i personally couldn't do it.

719 this week. only got 700 due to playing katoa on my bench, securing rochows score over SST

ranked 8700, not too unhappy about this. will be trading Lichaa out but keeping SST. He's getting the minutes and is playing rd 13, happy to be patient. Will only have used 2 trades even after trading Lichaa out.

Won't be jumping on Mbye or any of the flavour of the month guys. Need to find someone around Lichaa's price and keep using Katoa for the loophole.

I wonder who comes in for TPJ. I mean they won’t get a long crack at the Broncs but I’d love to see them run with someone like Fafita! But I reckon Taga comes up.

Anyway, looking like giving Carty the ol’ flick this week. Tempted on bringing in Hiku too. Is it weird that I’m still not sold on him though? Haha.

So like I don't want to chase points but is Widdop actually a decent pick this year.

Mitchell out Mbye in
Cartwright out Widdop in

You know you get next week's not this week's scores, right?

Didn’t have Murray or Mbye this week, this is my planned team for next week.
Got 792 this week, currently ranked 772nd overall. How’d you go? :-)

Anyone not have Lodge and thinking of bringing him in?

He's a good player and on good form, but him and Hunt are splitting everything and points might dry up against better teams. Not going to be playing the Titans in a tuxedo with 5 TAs every week.

Yeah I was hoping its be Hass or Fifita coming in for the broncos but Bennett will probably run Su'a
